Lauderdale Mansions South

Lauderdale Mansions South, is a block of 142 apartments in Lauderdale Road, Maida Vale, London W9. Built in 1897, Lauderdale Mansions South was the first of a swathe of mansion flat buildings for the middle classes that spread across central Maida Vale in the 1897-1907 period.
The building's freehold company is unusual in that it is believed to be the only one in the UK whose constitution specifies a ‘first-past-the-post’ secret ballot for electing directors, with any shareholder being entitled to stand for election.
Lauderdale Mansions South is divided into 15 blocks, each with its own entrance hall leading to 9-11 flats. Behind the building lies a 1. 5-acre communal garden in which there is also a meeting room for residents housed in a former Boiler House. The basement areas include storage units and bicycle storage areas.
Most apartments in the building are 950 to 1, 500 square feet. The upper floor flats have balconies overlooking Lauderdale Road, while lower ground floor flats back on to the communal garden.
For most of the 20th century the freehold of Lauderdale Mansions South was owned by the Church Commissioners, the property investment arm of the Church of England.
